It is extremely hard to "habituate" to something that severely limits you. Maybe non reactive T you can habituate...

Fuck. All of us on this forum deserve a healthy auditory system. Every single one of us.

People whine about how they can't ever enjoy the wilderness again, say waterfalls and crickets MASK their ringing. Give a break.

When I remember my past life, it’s like rembering someone that died. It’s creepy and depressing.

It fucking sucks living with other people when you got severe disabling reactive tinnitus.

Welp after a night of drinking and having a little fun, once I sober up, here I am back in nightmarevill.

I wish my tinnitus was just tinnitus and nothing else but of course it just HAD to come with special features...

My friend gets to live in the real world while I’m stuck in the twilight zone :(

Lol my neighbors are playing loud music excersising their auditory systems then theres me. Cheers to another hellish year!

All i want is a pair of healthy ears for Christmas and my life back. Santa is that too much to ask?

Envious of all my friends. Their auditory system isnt capable of being evil like mine.

It’s unfortunate that healthiness is not contagious. Me and my healthy eared friend kissed yesterday. I only wished I was blessed like him.

When do I get time off from hell ?

I wish I could just make my auditory system healthy but I don't have that choice :(

Miss hearing clearly without the ringing tainting it. Hearing is such a beautiful thing. Without it, its like asking a fish not to swim.

Why does it seem like it’s older folks in their 50s with severe tinnitus but young 20s people have quiet tinnitus? Anyone notice this?

You know what’s funny? I’ve known meth and heroin addicts and they never get T or H but I know healthy people that do! Imagine that.

I miss the days when I would put my gear VR headset on and turn on music and jam out while being in a fantasy world. Good times.

If tinnitus and hypercusis didn’t exist, the world would be a much more relaxing place.

It feels like just yesterday I was healthy enough to go to Sedona but really it was a year ago :(

I hate having fucked up ears. Jealous of my healthy eared peers who get to do whatever they want!

Severe reactive Tinnitus should be considered a disability in my opinion.

Wow I cannot believe there are 60 year olds with super healthy auditory systems that can rock out to music,yet I’m 24 with severe T.

I feel like with reactive T, it’s making me even more deaf as it’s even harder to talk to people now as it interferes with conversation

I don’t get it why do some people rate their tinnitus as “severe” but then they say hearing aid maskers mask it?

Thank goodness for texting cause if your unable to talk on the phone then atleast you can text lol

I’ve had coworkers get frustrated cause I couldn’t hear them cause I occasionally turn my hearing aid off on break but reactive T is bad.

I’m envious of those who have no reactive tinnitus and dysacusis. Habituation would a possibility in those cases.

Ugh I have a sharp oscillating tinnitus noise that is one of my worst. A high pitch kinda loud eeeEEEeee eeeeEEEeee whistle.

Not being able to listen to music is making my stomach churn...
